Not sure why you would want to do this against having lots of smaller 
repositories - (I have lots of small repositories - its mostly java, and my 
shared library files have their own repository which is automatically 
exported to where my projects can access it when I commit to it via a post 
commit hook - you can see the public version of them on my web site) but ...

Create each project on a separate branch of the common repository and ensure 
only the files you want in each project remains on each branch (and any 
shared files can exist in all branches).

In your "remotes" files you list the branches that you want to push to your 
public repository.
